Processing Project

A random small game (engine?) made with the Java Processing visual library

I made this when I was bored of doing Minecraft coding.

To-do

• Add enemies
  • Fix an enemy spawning for everytime you visit an area (Fixed by adding "destroy" function)
• Fix going to non-existent area causing the player the get stuck
• Fix sprite tree clipping (Might not fix)
• Keep one time boxes through sessions (Fixed through player data)
• Add game scaling feature (already added in non-pushed commit, but must be optimized) (Added cuz I'm cool)
• Fix issue with moving sprite at the end of sword animation (tf is going on?) (Fixed, I feel like an idiot lmao)
• See combining PImage and custom Image class (NOPE, not doing!)

How it Works

Most of this engine (I'm calling it an engine idrc) runs off of a yml system (except collisions) taken from the Spigot Java API.

Areas

There are 3 parts of each "area" that makes it work, the collisions, top half, and bottom half.

Collisions

Collisons is the main area with an NPC overlayed that will automatically generate the neccessary txt file that makes collisions work.

Bottom Half

Everything on this layer goes behind the Player

Top Half

Everything on this layer goes in front of the Player

NPCs

NPCs exist and sometimes have textboxes, with the file format shown below:

npcs:
  0: 
    sprite: 1
    x: 10
    y: 12
    areaX: 0 
    areaY: 2 
    textboxes:
      initial: BLACKSMITHQUEST
      normal: BLACKSMITHTALK 
    objActivate: 2 
    overCounter: true 
    extraTags:
      hasSword: true
